In an effort to ensure our long term stability Onala’s Board of Directors has established an endowment with the Pittsburgh Foundation. This fund will be built by the sale of Lifetime Memberships to current, past and future alumni for $1,000 each, the one-time contributions of several Pittsburgh, Tri-state area corporations and other direct fundraising efforts and contributions. It will undoubtedly take several years to build the fund to a sufficient level that supports our ongoing operations.

The rising cost of everything we do makes it imperative that we begin this effort and work diligently at making it a reality, if we hope to be here for another 50+ years. The fund itself will be untouchable but will generate interest that can be released regularly to cover ongoing expenses or rolled right back into the fund.
